Wedding planners say the COVID-19 pandemic won't cause us to rethink the traditional big, splashy ceremonies
TORONTO -- The pandemic may have postponed typical weddings for the foreseeable future and could usher in a trend of more intimate ceremonies, but we haven’t seen the end of the big, dramatic wedding, according to industry experts.
The wedding industry has been severely impacted by COVID-19. As the threat of the virus grew, health officials and governments across Canada banned large gatherings of people, and recommended individuals stay physically distant from others outside of their household. But in a post-pandemic world, will we see the same amount of big, intense, invite-everyone-in-the-extended-family type of weddings as we did before?“Events are going to come back stronger than ever,” she said. “Right now there might be a little fear, but for the future, I think people are going to be very happy to be able to celebrate and commemorate with others, because we need that personal connection.
“It’s the officiant, it's two witnesses and the couple,” she said. “They're still going to go ahead with that … and they’re still having their 200 person wedding next June.” “And then we're going to see a trend coming in … more intimate and personalized with smaller weddings.”
